For a full preview check out Voices of Wrestling KING OF PRO-WRESTLING October 14th at 4:00 EDT/9:00 BST Ryogoku Kokugikan (Sumo Hall) El Desperado Comeback:Ryusuke Taguchi, YOH, and SHO vs. Suzuki-gun (El Desperado, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, and DOUKI) Tanahashi 20th Anniversary Match IV:Hiroshi Tanahashi and Tomoaki Honma vs. Togi Makabe and Toru Yano L.I.J (Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, and BUSHI) vs. Suzuki-gun (Zack Sabre Jr, Lance Archer, and Taichi) Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, and YOSHI-HASHI vs. Bullet Club (Jay White, KENTA, and Yujiro Takahashi) Special Single Match:Jyushin Thunder Liger vs. Minoru Suzuki IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship:Will Ospreay(c) vs. El Phantasmo IWGP US Championship No DQ:Jon Moxley(c) vs. Juice Robinson IWGP Heavyweight Championship Right to Challenge Contract:Kota Ibushi vs. EVIL IWGP Heavyweight Championship:Kazuchika Okada(c) vs. SANADA This is the most stacked KoPW card in years imo even though i'm not even that stoked about the main event. The Liger/Suzuki singles match is finally happening after what's been probably the best build to an individual match this year. Plus,Moxley makes his return to the company for the first time since the G1, Kota Ibushi and EVIL have incredible chemistry, and Ospreay's delivered in almost all of his big match opportunities recently. If you're higher on the Okada/SANADA rivarly than i am this is a potential show of the year on paper and hell even I'll say that the closing stretch of the G-1 match had me shouting at the television. Even the multiman stuff in the undercard have a bit more juice than normal with Desperado's comeback and both Naito and ZSJ wanting to become double champions at the Dome. As a bonus don't forget that there's usually at least one unannouncedg surprise every year at this show.

my bold prediction is that sanada is not going to win

Put Liger vs. Suzuki on last, coward Harold.

really should have had sanada decline his title shot this time or just pretend he doesn't get one

Okada's not dropping that belt before January and if SANADA loses again he's either leaving the company or he's dangerously close to Goto territory, so I'm thinking they go broadway tonight, folks.

SANADA wins, Hiromu comes out looking like Scott Steiner and challenges for the belt.

MJeff posted:Wow, is this what I sound like when I'm stanning for Naito? I mean it's entirely possible SANADA just loses and that's that, I wouldn't be terribly broken up about it cause I like EVIL more, I'm just saying when your story in 2019 is "lose finals of NJC, get granted a title match and lose, barely eke out a win in G1, and then lose title match again" then it starts looking kinda dicey.

TriffTshngo posted:I wouldn't be terribly broken up about it cause I like EVIL more, Now you're talkin', muchacho. But yeah in retrospect uh, they should not have run Okada/Sanada at Dontaku. Losing in the NJC finals and getting a win in the G1 for a KOPW rematch is cool, but at this point, Sanada literally just beat Okada so he could lose to him a third time. Bad.

Big fan of the CHAOS vs BC 6 man where we're establishing that YOSHI-HASHI's natural counterpart in Bullet Club is Yujiro, as it should be.

Look on the bright side, Shota has already gone on excursion. Honestly though, if Moxley is the only cancellation after the insane size of Hagibis then that's a minor miracle and one I'll take. Archer is a dope replacement even if imo there's a bit less drama around the finish because I don't see Archer winning (sadly)

I guess we now know that Mox was dropping the title anyway. I'm looking forward to Big Yelling Man vs Smaller Yelling Man

Moxley has said he's really keen to do Wrestle Kingdom and I imagine they'll be keen to have him, but man it sucks he can't make KOPW

Wonder if Jericho was scheduled to fly in and beat up Tanahashi to set up the Dome or if we'll just get a video. Well, in just over an hour we'll find out
